Readon Free TV and Radio Player is a basic program that gives users access to a large number of international television and radio stations. It's nothing fancy, but it does contain links to a staggering amount of content.
The program's interface is simple, with its content types--TV, radio, movies on demand, and live sports--arranged in four tabs. TV and radio stations are organized alphabetically by country and genre, and drop-down menus allow users to filter results. Users simply click on the content that they want to access, and it plays either within the player itself or in the VLC player, which must be downloaded separately. The online Help file is fairly well-done, although we wished that it opened in the user's default browser and not Internet Explorer. Readon Free TV and Radio Player is a pretty basic program, but it does have a few extra features that make it stand out among similar programs. Readon provides access to quite a bit of adult content, but it provides a password-protected filter for users who want to disallow access to it. Perhaps the program's most important feature is that it allows users to record content using VLC. This didn't work for every channel we tried, but it did for quite a few of them. We also appreciated the fact that the program contains a minimum of nonfunctioning links, something that's been a problem in similar programs we've seen.
Readon Free TV and Radio Player is free. It comes as a ZIP file and installs desktop icons without asking, but it uninstalls cleanly. We recommend this program to all users.

"GREAT!!! GET IT!"
Version: Readon TV Movie Radio Player 7.6

"Access to more stations than others I have experienced"
Version: Readon TV Movie Radio Player 7.6
Pros
It is easy to use and it works at least for what it is able to access. It is hampered I am sure in restrictions from stations not granting free access. Everyone seems to want the almighty dollar!
Cons
None for the player itself. Just the lack of a paid version which would give more access (if possible) is a feature that would be nice to see. Options then would be available to upgrade and get access to more programming.

"The Best TV software"
Version: Readon TV Movie Radio Player 7.6
Pros
I've tried many TV/radio applications and this is the best one. Its reliable and if you get a broken link forget it as you won't get it anywhere else anyway. Also allows access to live sports, comprehensive movie streams, porn channels and clips, mp3 songs and even live news and weather. It also allows recording of many channels direct to hard drive. It even has the facility to record any audio from your PC and a full video converter!
Cons
The UI could be much improved. Its basic but functional. With recent updates the pop-out viewing panes tend to open in full screen mode and some are difficult to re-size.
Summary
Its definitely the best TV/radio/media software out there and its completely free!
